However much Wang Dameng anxiously wanted to jump up, Tian Ning remained unmoved.
She slowly put down the storybook in her hand and said seriously, “You and I are not from the same Sect. Why should I believe you?”
“What if this is a conspiracy by your Tempering Body Sect, deliberately using a suffering ploy, secretly planning to deceive me, and then, when we get to the place, several big men jump out and eliminate me from the competition?”
Wang Dameng: “…”
Why did what she said sound so reasonable?
If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have believed Tian Ning's nonsense!
Just as Wang Dameng was doubting himself.
Tian Ning said, “I was just giving an example, but you can look at the current Ranking Board.”
Wang Dameng, not understanding, took out his Jade Token and saw the prominent first place, Wanjian Sect with 66 points.
How is that possible?!
Clearly, all the elite disciples of the Six Sects had gathered to kill the Demonic Beast King. So many points, who is it?
Did Wanjian Sect, to prevent accidents, deliberately leave a backup? But when fighting the Demonic Beast King, looking at the number of people from the Six Sects, everyone who should have come should have come…
Tian Ning smiled confidently, “It must be my stunningly beautiful, peerlessly graceful Senior Martial Sister who is slaughtering everyone!”
Wang Dameng: “…”
He understood. The people of Wanjian Sect would definitely not have specifically gone to call those good-for-nothing people from Sword Protecting Mountain.
After all, in the first round of the Competition, except for Tian Ning, everyone from Sword Protecting Mountain was a slacker!
But shouldn't those people from Sword Protecting Mountain be useless?
Wang Dameng was clumsy with words; he didn't know how to persuade Tian Ning to go. Luckily, Long Yunqi was focused on the source of that fragrance, acting coquettishly with Tian Ning in various ways.
“Sister, let's go! You don't have to do anything; I'll go back and find some delicious food myself~”
Wang Dameng also wanted to act coquettishly, but as a burly man, he was too embarrassed.
“Tian Ning, just go and take a look… The situation there is very wrong. Our Spiritual Energy was first sucked away, and then vines came out of the ground and wrapped everyone up. If they were eliminated, that would be fine, but they've been trapped inside…”
Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred in the northwest direction. Just like in a fairy tale《Princess Pea》, an incredibly thick, bright green vine broke through the ground and shot straight into the sky!
The scene was so shocking that even the Sect Leaders of the Six Sects outside the Secret Realm stood up in surprise.
“That Demonic Beast King… dared to attack the direct disciples of the Six Sects!” The Tempering Body Sect Leader angrily slapped the table, and the table instantly split in two.
Before the Sect Leaders could send Elders to the Secret Realm to rescue people, a person in a black robe appeared in front of the Record Stone.
“Sect Leader Xiao, long time no see,” the person slowly opened their lips, removing the long hat that covered half their face. A familiar woman's face appeared: “My Master… is he alright?”
“Zhou Mengya! You traitor, you dare to appear here!” An Elder from Wanjian Sect immediately recognized the face.
“I know the Six Sects hate me, but I’m not here to chat with you.”
She pointed directly at the coffin beside Sect Leader Xiao and said unhappily, “I am here to take Master back to the Devil Realm. I hope all the Sect Leaders will be sensible and return Master to me!”
She had only been gone for five years, but those unreliable senior martial brothers and sisters had not only secretly taken in a junior martial sister without proper credentials behind Master's back, stealing her rightful place, but they even dared to put Master in such a tasteless coffin!
Did they think Master was dead?
Too much!
If Master were with her, how could she possibly let Master live such a hard life?
She would definitely wash Master personally every day, dress Master in the most expensive fabric, and sleep in a magnificent Palace. Master would never be in a ridiculous coffin like this, let alone be taken out for a show!
Who knows how heartbroken Zhou Mengya was when she saw a group of people from Sword Protecting Mountain enter in a coffin that day, wanting to tear them apart!
She didn't want Master to suffer this humiliation at the hands of these brats. Today, she would definitely take Master back!
Sect Leader Xiao frowned and said, “Delusional!”
“Whether it's delusional or not isn't up to you, Sect Leader Xiao,” Zhou Mengya showed a determined smile. “You can send Elders in to save these direct disciples, but the Master of this small Secret Realm has defected to my side. She is the ruler here! I believe you all know that it's useless to send in any number of people!”
“I can give you time to consider, but not too long, otherwise, I won’t wait to snatch Master away!”
“Think carefully. Exchanging so many direct disciples' lives for my Master is a very good deal for you!”
…
Tian Ning and Wang Dameng didn't know what was happening outside. They looked up at the sky and couldn't help but exclaim:
“Wow——”
After their necks were sore, Wang Dameng exclaimed, “That's the direction where the Six Sects had the incident! It's over! Fellow Cultivator Tian Ning, what should we do?”
Without him saying it, Tian Ning had already felt something was wrong with the Secret Realm.
Since the appearance of that towering vine, the Spiritual Energy in the Secret Realm had become increasingly thin, continuously nourishing the vine.
There is a very troublesome presence there…
Such a big commotion, the Elders must have come in to save people.
However, so many direct disciples were trapped, and even if the Elders wanted to save them, they couldn't for a while. Moreover, she also sensed Demonic Qi in the Secret Realm.
“Crush your Jade Token and see,” Tian Ning said.
“Ah? You…” Wang Dameng was stunned. He remembered that some fellow disciples had encountered the Bloodthirsty Formation with Tian Ning in the Secret Realm. During this time, the Three Sects had been trying to learn more about Tian Ning, inquiring about her everywhere:
“You wouldn't think we're encountering the same situation as the Bloodthirsty Formation?!”
Tian Ning shook her head, “It's not quite the same as that time.”
She couldn't explain it either; she just felt that there was some connection between the vine and the Secret Realm.
Wang Dameng obediently crushed his Jade Token, but he wasn't eliminated and left the Secret Realm.
“It's over, what should we do now! The Elders won't be able to get in, will they? Who will save us!”
Although Wang Dameng was big and looked reliable, when he really encountered a problem, he immediately panicked.
On the contrary, three-year-old Long Yunqi was much calmer.
He comforted Wang Dameng, “Brother, don't worry. It’s hungry, it wants to eat, so it only lets food in and won't let food out.”
These few words made Wang Dameng's hair stand on end. They… were food?!
